(54) Engine mount


(57) An engine mount has a stopper rubber portion (4) constituted of an outer peripheral flange (5) protruding radially outwardly from the engine side metal fitting (2) and a coating rubber (6) covering an outer periphery of said outer peripheral flange. A radius of curvature of contact parts positioned at one direction of two radial directions orthogonal to each other in a radial plane substantially equals to a radius of curvature of an inner periphery of the body side metal fitting (1) and a thickness of the coating rubber positioned in said one direction is constant in a circumferential direction thereof, whereby the contact parts positioned in said one direction are wildly brought into contact with the inner periphery of the body side metal fitting and distorted uniformly. The distortion of the stopper rubber portion is also made uniform when applying a load thereto.
